Micro Brew Festival 2016 21st Soroptimist International Micro Brew Festival 2016 The event is held at Manzanitas Place on June 4th, 2016 in Chico. Beer is essential, but the Micro Brew Festival is about more than just beer. It is our primary fundraiser that requires the support of local sponsors and people like you! The Micro Brew Festival presents over 50 breweries offering a wide range of beers, ciders, and honey wine that have an appeal for all levels of beer drinkers. Participants also have a unique opportunity to taste and learn more about making home brewed beers. The majority of the proceeds from the Micro Brew Festival are put back into the community to benefit women and girls through Soroptimist sponsored programs. This year we will have "All Fired Up" and the "Jeff Pershing Band" for your entertainment
